The Uester1l Rural, published at Chicago,
and Que of the ablest journals of the West,
has the following remarks upon the condi-
ton of the business of the country. They
are practical and will find attestation i'll
the conditioned almost every community /:
The condition of the business affairs Of
the United States Is at present Of an eX-
traordinary character, for, whilst there are
appearances III every Gil ectl0n OF prosperity.
the great body OF the business men, the
merchants, master mechanics and manu-
facturers, rs well as other classes WHO live
on the employment of their capital com
bined with their labor, complain Of the
times. and are transacting their. business
upon the narroWest margin, seeming to
have q ATea OF venturing far from shore.
They seem to dread danger ahead and
know not what is i'll the future for them 3
consequently, some are barely making q
living, whilst many are really conducting
their affairs by tile impairment OF their
capital, or on what credit they may still
have LETT.
The whole country, all classes and par
ties, are and have been calling for a reduc-
tiOn of the surplus revenue of the govern
ment and. Notwithstanding there were
statesmen in the last House of Represen-
tatives who were prepared topresent plapa
for its reduction, by a technical rule of
that hody--made for wise purposes, to- pre-
vent ,nalaGminis tration by demagogues-
the privilege was seized upon by Mr. Car
Isle. the speaker OF the House, with the
combination of the chairman of the Com
mittee on Ways and Means-Mr. Morrison
and one or two others Of his committee,
toprevent any legislation for the reduction
Of the tariff or the revenue from internal
taxes, unless such measure should be in
troduced by these gentlemen, one Of whom
had been discarded by his constituents at
the last falls election fer bis hand in the
HorizontaI bill, which he bud the previous
wear presented, and which had been de-
feated by q portion of his own party, com
bined with the solid body of the opposition
party. 1t was given out and understood
last session that no member should be
recognized by the Speaker if it was under
stood that he had any bill TO present on the
revenue question, unless it was approved
by Mr.. Carlisle and MIR. Morriann. whilst
these gentlemen did not attempt to put
any measure before the House, to be acted
upon by the whole body of the representa-
tives of the people. The consequence has
been that, instead Of the surpIus being re-
dnced the amount for this year will be in
creased thirty or forty millions of dollars
over that of last year. This action of the
Speaker is one of the most arbitrary and
advised, We believe, in the his DRY Of

An Important Decision.

a dispatch from New York, dated the
9th. gives the substance of an important
decision relating to the debt OF the State
and legislation looking to the violation DC
contracts. OF course the decision will ba
assailed as the conclusion OF an usurping
Judge and destruction of State rights y ct
it is simply reasserting what the Constitu-
tion commands and the u. $. Supreme
Court has often rea1lirmed-that no State
can impair the obligation Of contract. =
The dispatch says:
EX-Judge Andrews, of this City, received
by telegraph one of the most important
decisions that have been given for many
years in the matter Of the reputation by
southern States Of interest on State bonds.
The decision involves interest of vast
amount. Judge Bond, OF the IT, s. Cir
cult Court OF Raleigh, n. c., decided q
case of special tax bondholdeIs in their
favor. The suit was brought by Alfred Ii.
Temple, of Raleigh, n. c.. in The interest
of Morton, Bliss & Co., New York, ana
other holders of special tax bonds Of that
State. North Carolina issued bonds in
1868, and has not paid interest for many
years. Payment OF bonds to the amount
OF Slu,uUU,UUU was secured Dy PROVISION
in the act OF issuance, which ordered the
levy Of special tax on all real ana per-
sonal property of the State TO One-eighth
Of one per cent. The object of the SUIT
was TO compel the State officials to levy
this tax to pay overdue coupons. which
amount to nearly one hundred per cent. Of
the total issue Of special tax bonds. The
difficulty in all previous suits on State OBJ
legations have been that the State itself
has been held necessary party, and the
courts held the State could not be sued by
citizens Of other States. The plaintiff in
this case, however, is q citizen of North
Carolina. Now, for Che first time. the
Federal courts have held the States amena-
BILE to be such b. their own citizens.
where the Federal question is presented by
the passage of laws impairing obligation
of contracts.
The decision holds that the acts passed
by North Carolina to stop the collection Of
taxes tOpay this interest are null and void.
and the agents of the State must proceed
to collect taxes to pay interest North
Carolina funded all her debt except this
issue of bonds. 1t is expected Il special
session of the Legislature will be called to
consider the situation produced by the de-
cison. The local Judge Of Raleigh dis
scented, but under the law he has no vote
in the result. The decision on the special
tax bonds will add heavily to the debt
Some arrangement will probably be recon-
mended to fund the interest. There is no
appeal on the part of the State from the
present decision.
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1887-06-16

The Lynchburg Advance, on several oe-
casions recently, has made the statement
that the debt complication in Virginia
does not prevent capital from coming to
the State but that more money has been in
vested here within the past five years than
ever before. 1t is true there have been
large Investments made in Virginia, but
this has been done in spite of the depress-
ing effect of the debt condition. We know
the fact that capitalists have turned away
from us because of the constant cOnten-
tion and irritation over the debt question
and we think we are safe in saying that
not one. fourth of the means that would
have sought location in Virginia, have
been brought here, because Of the debt
controversy. Every unparalleled intelli-
gent citizen sees and understands this
We have knowledge of instances where
capital has been diverted from the State
on account of this cause, and have heard
numbers Of persons from other States say
that but for the unsettled condition Of our
finances, they would favorably consider
propositions or invitations to invest i'll Viz
ginia.
The AdUance also assumes that Virginia s
credit is matter of no Importance as II
affects her relation to the money market
Of the world, because the Constitution in
hibits the borrowing OF money except in
certain cases. This prohibition does not
extend to loans to redeem existing obll-
cations. The State would have the right
to issue bonds, for instance, at low rate
CT interest TO redeem bonds of higher
rate. That would not be creating . debt
but redeeming debt that the State was
already obligated to pay.
1t will not be denied by any business
man who looks at the matter impartially
that the unsettled condition of our finances
impairs not only the credit of the Com
monWealth but Of the citizen. and that
the constant discussion and agitation of
credit and debt-paying. Or reputation
prevents capital from coming to Virginia.
1t could not be otherwise. 1t dsturbs all
the relations of business, and operates
harm to the State in every conceivable
way.
